Smart Money Concepts Probability (Expo)█ Overview
The Smart Money Concept Probability (Expo) is an indicator developed to track the actions of institutional investors, commonly known as "smart money." This tool calculates the likelihood of smart money being actively engaged in buying or selling within the market, referred to as the "smart money order flow."
The indicator measures the probability of three key events: Change of Character ( CHoCH ), Shift in Market Structure ( SMS ), and Break of Structure ( BMS ). These probabilities are displayed as percentages alongside their respective levels, providing a straightforward and immediate understanding of the likelihood of smart money order flow.
Finally, the backtested results are shown in a table, which gives traders an understanding of the historical performance of the current order flow direction.
█ Calculations
The algorithm individually computes the likelihood of the events ( CHoCH , SMS , and BMS ). A positive score is assigned for events where the price successfully breaks through the level with the highest probability, and a negative score when the price fails to do so. By doing so, the algorithm determines the probability of each event occurring and calculates the total profitability derived from all the events.
█ Example
In this case, we have an 85% probability that the price will break above the upper range and make a new Break Of Structure and only a 16.36% probability that the price will break below the lower range and make a Change Of Character.
█ Settings
The Structure Period sets the pivot period to use when calculating the market structure.
The Structure Response sets how responsive the market structure should be. A low value returns a more responsive structure. A high value returns a less responsive structure.
█ How to use
This indicator is a perfect tool for anyone that wants to understand the probability of a Change of Character ( CHoCH ), Shift in Market Structure ( SMS ), and Break of Structure ( BMS )
The insights provided by this tool help traders gain an understanding of the smart money order flow direction, which can be used to determine the market trend.
█ Any Alert function call
An alert is sent when the price breaks the upper or lower range, and you can select what should be included in the alert. You can enable the following options:
Ticker ID
Timeframe
Probability percentage

Trade Entry Check list - Smart Money ConceptThe indicator you see is written to evaluate the input parameters for a trade. Since my own style is smart money, and I always used to write on paper or mentally calculate the necessary inputs for a trade, I wrote this indicator to prevent mental or paper calculations.
This indicator is made up of different sections that you can see in the table and make the necessary changes in the Options section.
The first section is your instrument, which is automatically displayed on every chart.
The next section is the current market, which is written based on smart money and divided into Asia Time, Frankfurt Time, London Time, Lunch Time, and New York Time sections. Depending on our style, we usually do not trade during the Frankfurt Time and Lunch Time sections.
The next section is about the ascending or descending structure of the 4-hour and 15-minute timeframes, which of course, you can change this structure to your desired one.
These two sections have both manual and automatic modes. I went through a lot of trouble for the automatic section, so don't easily skip it and be sure to test it.
The following sections relate to other reasons for entering a trade, which are divided into several sections. The first section is the entry reasons related to my personal strategy, which is completely defined and shows the input calculation in the Calculation section. The second section is your inputs without calculation in the Counter section, and the third section is your personal inputs including the Counter. You have deep access to customizing this table.
BIAS NotesUsage: This indicator allows you to note on your desired pair what is the current state of the trends.
!! How to use: You have to input the values for each table case to your desire in the indicator settings. !!
With this indicator you can note :
-what is the timeframe Bias
-which supply or demand we`ve just hit
I use this as a tool for my analysis with Insitutional Orderflow/SMC (Smart Money Concepts).
ICT Anchored IPDA RangesThis script is an anchored variation of my "ICT IPDA Look Back" script. Similarly, it calculates ICT's daily IPDA look back time intervals and their respective discount / equilibrium / premium; however, it also applies the Forward Cast IPDA daily ranges.
The Forward Cast can be used to estimate the time at which IPDA might initiate a change in institutional order flow. This depends on several factors such as time of the year, and time of daily structure break.
> IPDA Basics:
IPDA stands for Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm. Said algorithm appears to be referencing the past 20, 40 , and 60 days intervals as points of reference to define ranges and related PD arrays.
Intraday traders can find most value in the 20 Day Look Back box, by observing imbalances and points of interest.
Longer term traders can reference the 40 and 60 Day Look Back boxes for a clear indication of current market conditions.
Thanks to @atradesdaily for the suggestion.
Smart Money Concepts (SMC) [LuxAlgo]This all-in-one indicator displays real-time market structure (internal & swing BOS / CHoCH), order blocks, premium & discount zones, equal highs & lows, and much more...allowing traders to automatically mark up their charts with widely used price action methodologies. Following the release of our Fair Value Gap script, we received numerous requests from our community to release more features in the same category.
"Smart Money Concepts" (SMC) is a fairly new yet widely used term amongst price action traders looking to more accurately navigate liquidity & find more optimal points of interest in the market. Trying to determine where institutional market participants have orders placed (buy or sell side liquidity) can be a very reasonable approach to finding more practical entries & exits based on price action.
The indicator includes alerts for the presence of swing structures and many other relevant conditions.
Features
This indicator includes many features relevant to SMC, these are highlighted below:
Full internal & swing market structure labeling in real-time
Break of Structure (BOS)
Change of Character (CHoCH)
Order Blocks (bullish & bearish)
Equal Highs & Lows
Fair Value Gap Detection
Previous Highs & Lows
Premium & Discount Zones as a range
Options to style the indicator to more easily display these concepts
Settings
Mode: Allows the user to select Historical (default) or Present, which displays only recent data on the chart.
Style: Allows the user to select different styling for the entire indicator between Colored (default) and Monochrome.
Color Candles: Plots candles based on the internal & swing structures from within the indicator on the chart.
Internal Structure: Displays the internal structure labels & dashed lines to represent them. (BOS & CHoCH).
Confluence Filter: Filter non-significant internal structure breakouts.
Swing Structure: Displays the swing structure labels & solid lines on the chart (larger BOS & CHoCH labels).
Swing Points: Displays swing points labels on chart such as HH, HL, LH, LL.
Internal Order Blocks: Enables Internal Order Blocks & allows the user to select how many most recent Internal Order Blocks appear on the chart.
Swing Order Blocks: Enables Swing Order Blocks & allows the user to select how many most recent Swing Order Blocks appear on the chart.
Equal Highs & Lows: Displays EQH/EQL labels on chart for detecting equal highs & lows.
Bars Confirmation: Allows the user to select how many bars are needed to confirm an EQH/EQL symbol on chart.
Fair Value Gaps: Displays boxes to highlight imbalance areas on the chart.
Auto Threshold: Filter out non-significant fair value gaps.
Timeframe: Allows the user to select the timeframe for the Fair Value Gap detection.
Extend FVG: Allows the user to choose how many bars to extend the Fair Value Gap boxes on the chart.
Highs & Lows MTF: Allows the user to display previous highs & lows from daily, weekly, & monthly timeframes as significant levels.
Premium/Discount Zones: Allows the user to display Premium, Discount, and Equilibrium zones on the chart
Usage
Users can see automatic CHoCH and BOS labels to highlight breakouts of market structure, which allows to determine the market trend. In the chart below we can see the internal structure which displays more frequent labels within larger structures. We can also see equal highs & lows (EQH/EQL) labels plotted alongside the internal structure to frequently give indications of potential reversals.
In the chart below we can see the swing market structure labels. These are also labeled as BOS and CHoCH but with a solid line & larger text to show larger market structure breakouts & trend reversals. Users can be mindful of these larger structure labels while trading internal structures as displayed in the previous chart.
Order blocks highlight areas where institutional market participants open positions, one can use order blocks to determine confirmation entries or potential targets as we can expect there is a large amount of liquidity at these order blocks. In the chart below we can see 2 potential trade setups with confirmation entries. The path outlined in red would be a potential short entry targeting the blue order block below, and the path outlined in green would be a potential long entry, targeting the red order blocks above.
As we can see in the chart below, the bullish confirmation entry played out in this scenario with the green path outlined in hindsight. As price breaks though the order blocks above, the indicator will consider them mitigated causing them to disappear, and as per the logic of these order blocks they will always display 5 (by default) on the chart so we can now see more actionable levels.
The Smart Money Concepts indicator has many other features and here we can see how they can also help a user find potential levels for price action trading. In the screenshot below we can see a trade setup using the Previous Monthly High, Strong High, and a Swing Order Block as a stop loss. Accompanied by the Premium from the Discount/Premium zones feature being used as a potential entry. A potential take profit level for this trade setup that a user could easily identify would be the 50% mark labeled with the Fair Value Gap & the Equilibrium all displayed automatically by the indicator.
Conclusion
This indicator highlights all relevant components of Smart Money Concepts which can be a very useful interpretation of market structure, liquidity, & more simply put, price action. The term was coined & popularized primarily within the forex community & by ICT while making its way to become a part of many traders' analysis. These concepts, with or without this indicator do not guarantee a trader to be trading within the presence of institutional or "bank-level" liquidity, there is no supporting data regarding the validity of these teachings.
FXC Order Block Finder █ OVERVIEW
The FXC Order Bock Finder finds and draws institutional order blocks according to the Smart Money Concept. Order blocks are zones where institutions have most likely left some orders that need to be filled at a later point in time. In These order blocks or POIs can be used to either place limit orders or to look for instant entries as price comes to retest the zone. It works on all time frames but higher time frames tend to be more precise.
█ HOW DOES IT WORK?
The indicator waits for a break of structure (BOS) and then prints a zone if there's an engulfing pattern and an open imbalance. Basically it draws zones where a fake move followed by aggressive buying or selling happened and Imbalances were left open.
█ WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE?
Apart from the fact that I haven’t found any indicator that is able to properly draw order blocks most indicators do re-paint which doesn’t make any sense in the case of the Smart Money Concept.
Furthermore does this indicator have settings that let’s you adjust how the order blocks are drawn. From wick to end of the imbalance or candle close to imbalance. Also you can set how many candles it takes into consideration for the imbalance in case the imbalance starts after the engulfing pattern has formed. And you can set how many candles have to checked to determine a BOS or an internal BOS by using fractal breaks.
█ HOW TO USE IT?
Either place sell limits at the lower end of the order block with SL slightly above the OB and buy limits at the upper end of the OB with SL slightly below the OB. Target a fixed Risk Reward Ratio or trade it to the next order block. By using multi time frame analysis you can determine the overall direction of the market and prevent low probability trades. Also worth mentioning is that order blocks that have been created during high volume sessions tend to result in way better trades than with order blocks that have been printed during the Asia session.
█ ADDITIONAL INFO
As soon as price retested an order block the order block is mitigated and therefore not valid anymore. Also order blocks that are too far back in time are less probable to deliver good trades. In general the win rate tends not to be too high using this method but more often than not there's a reaction as price taps into an order block and trades with high RRR are quite often. As always in trading, proper money management and risk management is key.
█ DISCLAIMER
This is not financial advice. The Indicator spots these zones according to the smart money concept . However there's absolutely no guarantee that a nice order blocks results in a good trade.

SMC RulesThis script allowes you to have a plan always shown on the chart.
You know how it is, sometimes you miss things and if you dont see your plan then you miss maybe an important part... so for this i wrote that simple script here.
So far it has 5 Sections you can edit in the settings to your liking.
On top you can also edit the swing structure you are seeing, so you dont have to always swap timeframes.
Also implemented are the Session times for Frankfurt, London, New York and Asia.
Its not enabled on default, but i find it quiet handy to have..
(including alerts)
I will update it from time to time, if you wish for something just let me know.
Smart Money BusterAfter daytrading for a while i came into conclusion that price action trading is the most successful way to trade for me and this project was for me to simplify my way of trading at the beginning. Eventually it got big and turned into a very useful helper indicator for me to setup on different pairs for alerts and only look at the charts to decide for entry when the alerts come from 120 different pairs that i set it up. Since i always looked at indicators for a way to make my job simpler and give me more time to do more important things for me rather than drawing lines on different pairs eveyday i think it got to a point where it works to my liking and making me gain time, thus more money.
This indicator uses smart money concepts like Market Structure, Order Blocks, Quassimodo Levels, Structure Breaks, Pumps and Dumps, Imbalances(In the works will be added in first update) to help trader catch what the whales are thinking and how to enter in the right time for swing trading, catching bottoms and tops.
Here are some of the features as of release:
Detects Market Structure and draws zig-zag lines and keeps note of pivot points.
Detects Order blocks and draws boxes when the conditions met
Detects the quassimodo levels and changes the color of the box to signal double confluence meaning stronger signal
Draws structure break lines
Setting to set structure break percentage before drawing boxes to get the boxes drawn if you want to be more 'sure' about the Order Block Levels.
Setting to change depth and backstep values for zigzags to be able to let you fit the system for different time frames.
Setting to set MSB trigger point between High and Low, Close and Open or hl2 values.
Setting to set Signal Triggering Range between Start, Middle and End meaning eg. if you set it to Middle it will wait for MSB trigger point to hit the middle of the box before giving you a signal.
Setting for changing HH-LL pivot points lookback count, 5 as default. Increasing this value will make you compare your pivot points with more data, really useful in lower time frames where will be a lot of zig-zags and highs and lows giving you a method to avoid false signals. Recommended to keep it lower values on 30 min and higher and increase it in lower Timeframes according to market volatility.
Setting to add a Box limit where the box of order block will be set invalid after certain candles and it still didn't trigger. Default value of 0 means it's disabled.
Setting to set Candle volatility percentage value to avoid big candles getting opposite signals on fast pump or dump schemes and bust those market makers schemes. Gotta say this came out really handy in crypto markets :)
As an end you can set alerts for 'Buy' , ' Sell ', ' Buy and Sell' together or if you wish you can connect it to bots via webhook as an entry. Although haven't connected to any bots myself as i think the best method of trading is human and machine working together. Since we have the creativity and out of the box thinking and machines have the ability to brute force calculation and huge bandwith that we don't currently have. At least until Elon Musk turns is into a cyborg, which i am not very eager about.
Planned Features:
- Add ability to detect imbalances(fair value gaps) to add third confluence to detect dragon fruit entries. This will make the system work with triple confluence.
- Add more settings so humans can command the ai better.
- Maybe a strategy version after i write my own dynamic take profit algorithm to give system ability make quantitative decisions based on current position profit levels.
- Although i think i fixed almost all the important bugs if there ever comes up one bugs will take priority for updates.
- And some things i may decide to add later. I will keep working on this project since it works well for me.
And like always, happy trading.
[VC] Cumulative Delta PLUS It is a Merged Version of our following two indicators.
V.C Box Chart Histogram
&
V.C Cumulative Delta Histogram.
We merged them at the user's request & convenience. This merged version also helps to save space for other indicators.
Description & Usage
Description & Usage will remain the same as described in individual descriptions of the above-mentioned parent indicators. Only one additional input is added to adjust the scale, named "Scale_Setting''.
Because now it's a merged version of 2 different indicators & both indicators have their different scale levels. To bring both indicators on an equal scale so that they can be visualised better, we have added scale adjustment settings that are easy to understand. Let's elaborate it.
Scale adjustment settings belong to the Cumulative length of the ' 'Cumulative Delta Indicator'' . Keep in mind that the best scale setting is keeping the scale setting values near or equal to cumulative length.
For example:
If you set cumulative length 20, the scale setting value should also be 20 or near 20 (like 17, 18, 19 etc.). (It depends on you, how large cumulative columns you want to see relative to Box chart Histogram)
Note: Any scale setting value can be used, it only affects visuals, not the actual calculations.
Disclaimer Note:
V.C Cumulative Delta Histogram It is purely Volume, Delta, Demand & Supply imbalance and comparative analysis-based tool. Before applying this Indicator to your study, you should clear your concepts about Volume, Delta & Spread, Demand & Supply, and Aggressive & Passive behaviour of buyers/sellers.
Some basic understanding of Sir Richerd Wyckoff's Theory can also be helpful.

Wyichi AI 4.0Wyckoff logic : " Charles H. Dow and his colleague Edward Jones (Dow Jones & Company since 1882). The Dow Theory's final tenet is, "Trend Remains In Effect Until Clear Reversal Occurs." Dow Theorists look for "failure swings" and confirmations to give unambiguous signals of trend fatigue or trend reversal, according to this concept. Any pattern, whether it's a continuation pattern like a Flag Formation or a reversal pattern like Head & Shoulders , is designed to repeat itself over and over again."
Ichimoku : " An Ichimoku practitioner should be able to get a quick sense of sentiment, momentum, and trend strength by looking at an Ichimoku chart , Hosada was a fervent belief that market dynamics or behavior reflected human group dynamics. He felt that human conduct in their lives and relationships might be defined as a continual cyclical movement away from and back toward balance. "
